Kim Kardashian Returns To The White House To Help Free A Prisoner

Kim Kardashian returned to The White House on Wednesday to work with Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka to help free a prisoner.

The visit comes just three months after Kim met with Trump to discuss prisoner Alice Johnson, who she thought had been wrongly imprisoned.

This time, Kim returned to make a 'systematic change', as she discussed 30-year-old inmate, Chris Young, and took part in a listening session on clemency and prison reform.

Kim posted a picture of her meeting on Twitter, with the caption: "It started with Ms. Alice, but looking at her and seeing the faces and learning the stories of the men and women I've met inside prisons I knew I couldn't stop at just one. It's time for REAL systemic change [sic]."

The reality star also appeared in a picture with Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, after saying that she had been in regular contact with the First Son-in-Law since meeting with Donald Trump in May.

Kim is hoping to help prisoner Chris, after he was sentenced to life for a marijuana and cocaine possession arrest in 2010, a sentence that she believes is unfair.

After a phone call from the prisoner, Kim spoke to Tennessee judge Kevin Sharp, who resigned after the government forced him to hand out such a strong sentence.

The pair are working with Kim's lawyers to help get Chris released from jail.

Speaking on Jason Flom's Wrongful Conviction podcast, Kim said: "Yesterday, I had a call with a gentleman that's in prison for a drug case - got life. 'It's so unfair. He's 30 years old. He's been in for almost 10 years.

"I was on the phone with the judge that sentenced him to life, who resigned because he had never been on the side of having to do something so unfair, and now he is fighting [alongside] us to get [Young] out."

Kim previously helped to convince the president to pardon 63-year-old grandmother Alice, who was put behind bars in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges.
